An 8 Page Book From a Piece of Paper

This little book made from a single page is useful for kids stories, note taking, or for planning larger books. Several can be glued or stapled together for a longer book. My kids have made many mini stories with these.

Materials

You need scissors and one piece of paper.

Fold the paper long ways and open it like a hot dog bun.

Hamburger Fold

Fold the paper in half the other way.

Fold one side back and flip it over and fold the other side back so when it is opened it looks like a W.

Cut on the Middle Crease

Cut the paper on the middle crease that you made with the first fold.
